John J. Collins’ Introduction to the Hebrew Bible is one of the most reliable and widely adopted critical textbooks at undergraduate and graduate levels alike, and for good reason. Enriched by decades of classroom teaching, it is aimed explicitly at motivated students regardless of their previous exposure to the Bible or faith commitments.

Collins proceeds through the canon of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, judiciously presenting the current state of historical, archaeological, and literary understanding of the biblical text, and engaging the student in questions of significance and interpretation for the contemporary world.

The second edition has been updated with the latest findings in biblical scholarship and is presented in a new and engaging format. It can be purchased individually or as part of a Course Pack which includes the Study Companion.

John Collins’ introduction is a timely and welcome contribution, one based on his own extensive research and on his many years of teaching the subject.

—James C. VanderKam, John A. O’Brien Professor of Hebrew Scriptures, Biblical Studies, and Judaism in Antiquity, University of Notre Dame

Collins’ volume meets a long-standing need for an up-to- date and well-informed critical introduction to the Hebrew Bible. . . . Collins’ work stands as a most welcome and highly recommended textbook for both undergraduates and seminarians.

—Marvin A. Sweeney, professor of religion, Claremont Graduate University

At last! This is the introduction to the Hebrew Bible I have been looking for: a balanced and richly informative introduction that covers essential critical and comparative perspectives and sets up pertinent interpretive issues, leaving the instructor free to work with the class in any number of directions.

—Carol Newsom, professor of Old Testament, Candler School of Theology

    Clarification is needed for this product. The Logos overview for the two-volume “collection” focuses on Collins’ 2007 "Short Introduction to the Hebrew Bible" - which is abridged version of his 2004 (1st Edition) "Introduction to the Hebrew Bible" (both of which I have in my Logos library) - and one of the reviews (James VanderKam) for volume one refers only to the "Short Introduction." All this gives the impression that this product incudes the 2nd Edition of that short version when, in fact, the book's title ("Introduction to the Hebrew Bible," not "Short Introduction") and length (640 pages, compared to the 312 or so pages of the 2007 "Short Introduction" and 605 pages of the 2004 full "Introduction") appear to indicate that this is the 2nd Edition of the full "Introduction" - along with the 2nd Edition of the Study Guide that came with the 1st Edition of the full "Introduction." Would appreciate it if Logos could provide a clearer outline of what is included in this two-volume collection.
